Transit insurance protects against loss or damage to your items whilst they are being couriered from the pick-up location to the drop-off. Whilst we make every effort to ensure items do not become damaged or lost, these things do happen from time to time – as such, we ensure that all same-day deliveries include up to £50,000 of goods in transit insurance. This means that, if worst comes to worst, you will get up to £50,000 of your item cost back, and we can arrange extra cover for more valuable items if required. Transit insurance is not only applicable to parcels destined for same-day delivery but also to those on longer delivery routes.
Although it is not a legal requirement, we highly recommend having transit insurance for your goods, even if you don’t courier with us. If you don’t have this in place, any mishaps during transit could end up costing you dearly, not only for the cost of the item, but also the potential refund to a disappointed recipient.
It is essential to know the value of the items you’re sending via courier, as you will want to ensure you have the right level of cover. For instance, if an item exceeds the basic £50,000 threshold we offer as standard, you would like to have additional cover. It may be that, in the event of a claim, this worth has to be proven, so it’s also important to keep documentation where possible to back up the claim.
